About This Site

This blog is primarily intended to keep our family and friends up-to-date on where we are and where we’re going as we drive around the country as long-haul truckers. But it’s also a chance to share some observations about life on the road and life in general.

The title is a reference to one of the things we find so attractive about driving a truck (which weighs 40 tons – 80,000 pounds – when fully loaded); it allows us to travel all over this great country of ours, see the sights, and get paid while we're doing it!

My turn

Yesterday it was MY turn to drive through New York City. We went back down the Connecticut shore, back across the George Washington Bridge, and then down the Jersey turnpike to Bayonne, NJ to pick up a load of Tropicanna orange juice. (OJ from Jersey? Go figure...) We could see the top half of the Statue of Liberty from the warehouse.

Man, oh man! The traffic was out in full force. We started at 4:00 a.m. to make the delivery in Norwich, CT and by 6:00 p.m. last night we had only made it to the Jersey/Pennsylvania border. That was exhausting.

We managed to do some laundry and hit the showers before zoning out for the night. Then it was up and at 'em for the trip to Syracuse (our current location). We think we're taking a load down to Louisianna but won't know for sure until a little later.
